If we hadn't Rashford I think we'd go very hard for this signing. As it is I don't see us being interested.
So using that, you believe spurs are a bigger football club then Manchester united, in recent years?
This is true.
I think it's worth noting that the structure of the deal will undoubtedly involve a lot of performance clauses.
What the hell will Wenger do now?
Talk about how he almost bought Mbappe.
It's crazy money and it's a gamble, but if he turns out to be another Messi/Ronaldo 135M will look like a bargain.
We should at least match it. If he even matches his form of this year let alone gets better, he would transform our attack. Pogba would love playing with him.
Unfortunately even if we did match it he would choose them anyway. And why not.

He's most certainly a whatever the price type player. It'd be sad if he went to Madrid cause near the end of the Ronaldo era you' think they'd have to Wait for another superstar but here the transition is going to be seem less. I'd stick my neck out and say he'll score 40 goals next season for them.
At Madrid, I do think that he will score around 40 goals (assuming hie is fit for the whole season).
Will Ed take a turn in this bidding process?
Monaco would be mad to reject that.
Who knows what will happen next season?

Just lob in a bid ed
But the guy doesn't want to come for us... so a bid is not going to change much of that.
Any move will depend on the playing time he gets, I can't see real Madrid dropping benzema for him right now. Bench role in any team will put him off at the moment.
Good talent but 135m euros is not worth risk taking on with many youngsters already here. Will he adapt to the league or Jose Philosophy too would be a big question.

Very high risk. He could be average in a more competitive league and end up going to Madrid for less in a few seasons. He could also be a barnstormer.
Ronaldo era will take 9 years to end with his phenomenal fitness.
He makes perfect sense to Madrid. Perfect age to take over from Ronaldo in 2/3 years with an easy 120+ starts under his belt during his apprenticeship. They don't really need to strengthen much this season so a luxury glactico signing makes perfect sense. They also earned a tonne of prize money these past few years.
Morata will leave and Zidane's rotations will continue. He'll get plenty of game time in Madrid
What? Rashford is good player but right now from what mbappe has a shown his top level will be ballond' or material. I am pretty sure its mbappe who isnt interested in coming here, if he was, we d buy him despite of rashford.
No.

I'm didn't mention Mbappe's intentions, your mind made that assumption. I merely stated that I don't feel United are going to be interested at that price when we have a good prospect in Rashford.

I just wanted to acknowledge you for being one of the few fans here who dont overrate Rashford. So many fans are adverse to signing a world class striker or top world class prospects because we have Rashford. Rashford has the potential to become a great player but he does not possess any outstanding attributes that makes him a guarantee like Kylian does.
But you said that based on result Manchester United haven't been a top team? So surely Spurs who have done better the Manchester United are a bigger team.
You can say "a clubs size is based on results" and then say "you can call Spurs a big team based on results".
Just admit you were wrong in calling Manchester United a smaller club based on results
I would say AC Milan are a far far bigger club than Chelsea, yet they have been poor for several years. \clubs can become big and have success but nothing compares to the history of clubs like AC Milan, Juventus, Liverpool, Manchester United, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. Money talks and of course you have to be successful attracting the best players but CHelsea and Manchester City for me are incomparable with ourselves and Liverpool in terms of the top clubs in world football, that would take decades to change not short term success.
Yup. If they sell Morata (40M) and James (55M) and Pepe and Coentrao leave for free, they could sign Theo to backup Marcelo as rumoured for 20M, Mbappe to take Morata's role and challenge Benzema for the 9 spot (120M) and sign a CB for 30M and still have only spent about 70-80M this summer and likely reduced wages.
I think the idea is that Vinicius or Ascencio will be Cristiano's replacement on the left and Mbappe would be the 9 sooner rather than later. Benzema and Navas are the 2 weakest first XI players on Madrid and though both are fine players who have produced for Madrid and Navas appears to have the backing of the room and manager, you have to think that only strengthens the likelihood Benzema finds himself either sold off or at least properly challenged by someone like Mbappe or Lewandowski one of these summers.
What the player wants doesn't matter, if we don't sign him it's a failure of Woody and United.
Don't do it to yourselves lads! This lad has Madrid written all over him. Fair play if he gets his move after one impressive season. He does look top tier, especially for his age. Still a huge gamble though. Would I take him for 135 million? It depends on what the scouts are telling you. If he's the real deal they should know. Fans often get too caught up in the hype of a season to be rational about these things. 135 million is not so much nowadays for a whole career of winning things at the highest level but that kind of obscene money also makes me like football a little less tbh.
This is a fairly flat few weeks on the caf and in the football world in general. I keep checking back here because it's part of my internet routine even though I know there's nothing happening yet. We will make signings that will improve us. Trust the manager and relax. For those who don't trust him- he'll be fired if his plans fail next year, so you can relax too.
For the first time since Fergie I feel like we might actually have a plan here and a competant individual to implement that plan. If the signings don't improve the side in some way they won't be made just for the sake of pleasing the muppets. Next year it's a Jose team and he's a winner and winning and competing at a very high level is all that really matters at the end of day. I CANT WAIT for the season to kick off again! So happy to be back in the CL.

Spurs havent won jack shit anyway, can go and celebrate the 2nd place trophy. Hate people calling us out for finishing 6th too, we gave up on the league while challenginf for 4th/3rd.
I didn't say that United aren't a top team, nor have I said that Spurs are bigger than United.
I've simply said that in footballing terms United aren't these days in the global top 5 .... and this isn't changed by having a massive income. You're just deluding yourself if you think there aren't - at the very, very least - 5 clubs globally who have a better football team than United.
He makes sense for Real but I'm less certain Real makes sense for him at this stage in his career, especially if Bale stays. Cristiano will always play when fit in important matches so we're talking about two available forward spots when they play 4-3-3 and one available spot if they play the 4-4-2 diamond formation with Isco at the tip of the midfield that Zidane has preferred recently. And he may end up competing against Benzema, Bale, and Asensio for those 1-2 positions on the team sheet. He will still get game time because Zidane likes to rotate but he could easily end up playing no more than Morata and being left out in the bigger Liga and CL matches, particularly if Zidane prefers the 4-4-2 diamond like he has recently. That is not a great situation for a (next year) 19-year-old with ambitions to be the best in the world and who needs to play regularly against good competition to develop properly. You only get so much better playing against Leganes and Legia Warsaw. When Cristiano and Messi were 19, they were regular selections for their clubs and played in tons of huge matches against top teams.
They don't seem to be in the running but I think Juventus would be the ideal spot for him.

We should go for him.
There are many reasons why he would choose us over Real even if they are a great side right now and we aren't.

Some of you are nuts to suggest we should blow the majority of our budget on one young lad. We have so many holes in our team and you think the solution is to invest in more potential...
You don't think Mbappe would instantly solve our DM problem ?
Who cares about holes when you're blowing walls down?
He's the wolf we've needed for many years, not just the 3 little pigs.
Hes the best young prospect right now by a mile for me. I cant see us going for him because he wants to go to Madrid so why bother. He needs game time to improve and I think Zidane could manage him really well.
I think we could buy Mbappe for half a billion or whatever the feck he's worth now, and we'd still have a dysfunctional team. Then next summer we'd be back at square one, with people desperate for us to throw more money at the next flavour of the month.
If we're going all out for a young player with potential then I'd rather go for Ousmane Dembele. Who would probably cost half the price too.
You said this "Top 5 clubs in world football don't finish in 6th place in their domestic league, nor spend three seasons out of the last four outside the top 4 in their domestic league.
United are top 5 in the world in terms of money, but no longer in terms of football."
So based on that you believe spurs are a top club or at the very least spurs are a bigger club, you are mental, spurs tinted glasses on every post.
Don't tell me what I believe or don't believe.
There are - at the very, very least - 5 clubs globally who have a better football team than United: it's as simple as that. If you think otherwise then let's see your list of the only 4 clubs whose teams - right now - are either better or equal to United's. Time to put up or shut up.
Do you actually think that "best 5 teams in Europe" means "biggest clubs"? I mean I'm heard of homers but that's insane. Monaco would be considered one of the biggest clubs in the world in that case, but they're not, they're selling their best players each season. Similar to the way Spurs do. I mean Eriksen this week said he "sees himself playing at the top level". Not even he shares your mindset
